Where it came from
Giganten was published in 1981 by Hexagames, a German company known for its focus on sophisticated strategy games during the early 1980s. The game emerged during a period of significant growth for the German board game market, reflecting the industry's shift toward thematic and mechanically complex titles that favored economic simulation and territorial control over simple luck-based mechanics.
The game was designed by Reinhold Wittig, a prominent figure in German board game design who was also known for co-founding the game publication Spielbox. Wittig intended for Giganten to capture the tension of industrial expansion and resource management. Its reception was marked by appreciation for its strategic depth, establishing it as a representative example of the emerging 'Eurogame' philosophy that would come to define the German market in the following decades.
